To enter, open the two player door to the direct right of spawn. Along the path is a constellation barrier requiring one Expression from the Vault of Knowledge. Two new Children of Light were added in this new area. However, it has since undergone a lot of changes in both appearance as well as the locations of the Children of Light. Starlight Desert:  How to reach Starlight Desert This area was added in July 2021, for the Season of The Little Prince. The entrance to the area is through a hole in the wall on the first floor. Upon entering the Vault, fly up to the left-hand wall where the ladder stand. The doorway is protected by a Spirit Gate, requiring one (1) Spirit from Vault to enter. A monument was added to the Starlight Desert area of Vault of Knowledge in honor of a late TGC employee in Patch 0.21.0, and others in-team to whom TGC has had to say goodbye to. “In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so, it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night.” All Seasonal Spirits from the Season of The Little Prince, and the Seasonal Quests from that Season can be found in Starlight Desert.

Door requires 4 people This is where the player will find the Spirit with the Telekinesis Expression needed to access the 4-player area on the bottom floor. To collect it, four players must collaborate to open the large door off to one side. However, this door does not require any Expressions to open. The player will only need to approach it, and press the "grab" icon once it appears. There are no Children of Light on this level. The floor, made of stars, will recharge the cape when touched and cannot be penetrated. This level is fairly simple, with another "lighting the lanterns" puzzle to complete before reaching the next floor. Levitating Adept:  Telekinesis: In the room behind the 4-player gate, the Expression can be collected in the far left corner behind a column. Levitating Adept 10 5 Lv47 Lv35 2 5 1 3 Lv25 Total: 26 + 15 + 2 Third Floor:  This level is represented by the Forest constellation, and has been expanded to contain stone ramps and crystal-like trees. One Ancestor Spirit and one Child of Light are also found here. To reach the next floor, the player will first have to light the lanterns on the circling stone platforms. This will cause further, floating, lanterns to appear around the original dais. Once these too are lit, the player can sit at the dais to ascend to the next floor. Polite Scholar:  Hands Folded Stance: Once this floor is reached, the Ancestor Spirit will be found on a stone platform. Reliving this memory requires the player to follow them up some more platforms. The orange starlight, emitted from platforms at the bottom, can recharge the player's cape if they run out of power. As at the previous floor, landing on the floor proper will also recharge the player. Reliving the memory will also cause a crystal tree to grow next to the spirit. Polite Scholar 15 5 2 3 1 2 Total: 9 + 17 + 2 Fourth Floor: The fourth level is represented by the Valley constellation. The stone buildings and mini coliseum resemble those found in the races. This area contains waterfalls of light and stone islands. A very high platform containing some red candles has remained here after the 2019 Season of Lightseekers event, and can be found by flying directly upwards from the Manta Call platform.  There are two Winged Light in this level, as well as two Ancestor Spirits. Memory Whisperer:  Find the highest visible platform without a building on it (it consists of two overlapping circles). Simply press the Manta Call button when it appears after lighting the red candles to unlock this Expression.

The Pray Expression in turn is only accessible through a 4-player door requiring the Telekinesis Expression. Thus, Levitate can only be obtained on a players second run-through of the Vault of Knowledge, if the 4-player gate wasn't opened by four others. Find two islands, one higher and one lower, connected by spiraling stepping stones. The Ancestor Spirit is activated on the lower island and needs to be followed to the higher one. There, Pray until the stone in the center fills up completely with white. Players who have not collected the Pray Expression will be able to follow the Spirit's impressions to the top, though not actually activate the final step. Note: someone else with the Pray Expression can activate the Spirit for another player if they Pray in their stead. Meditating Monastic 30 5 Lv410 Lv37 3 10 1 3 Lv210 Total: 36 + 40 + 3 Fifth Floor:  The fifth level is represented by the Wasteland constellation, and has a few skeletons floating in the sky. To reach the next floor, players will need to fly to the Large Cosmic Manta which will approach from the Prairie Constellation in the sky. On the back of the Cosmic Manta players will find lanterns to light – these activate the dais at the center of the floor. Cosmic Mantas will start to circulate the platform, which players can ride to reach the Summit. One Winged Light is available in this area. Sixth Floor/The Summit:  This is the floor where the Vault Elder is met. One Winged Light and a Meditation Shrine are also found here. After-Shrine Area (End):  This is the final transition area of the game, with portals leading either Home or into the Eye of Eden. The constellation barrier blocking the entry to Eden (Spoiler Warning!) requires 20 Winged Light to pass through. However, it is recommended to acquire significantly more than this before entering Eden. Seasonal Spirits: As of July 2021, all Seasonal Spirits are available to collect in the Kingdom of Sky. You will be able to collect the base level expression, but in order to collect the cosmetics or expression upgrades, they will have to wait for the Spirit to return as a Traveling Spirit.
